All nonzero numbers have multiples. Some numbers have some of the same multiples as other numbers. These are known as common multiples. 12 is a multiple of 3. 12 is a multiple… of 4. 12 is a common multiple of 3 and 4. All non-zero numbers have multiples. Some numbers have some of the same multiples as other numbers. These are known as common multiples. 12 is a multiple of 3. 12 is a multiple of 4. 12 is a common multiple of 3 and 4.

it is when you distribute a number by the numbers inside of the (). Such as 9 (6*7) It would be 54*63. Hope this helps! :) * * * * * I hope it does not because it is so very… WRONG! 9(6*7) is 9*42 = 378 and is an illustration of the associative property. The distributive property of multiplication OVER addition (or subtraction) states that a*(b + c) = a*b + a*c Thus, multiplication can be "distributed" over the numbers that are inside the brackets.

Factors go into numbers, numbers go into multiples. Factors are the numbers that can multiply to make up a given number. 1, 2, 5 and 10 are the factors of 10 because 10 x 1 …and 5 x 2 equal 10. Multiples are created by multiplying a given number by successive counting numbers. 10 x 1= 10 10 x 2 = 20 10 x 3 = 30 10, 20 and 30 are multiples of 10 Notice that 10 is both a factor and a multiple of itself.
